Team Banzai

Team Banzai is a general name of people that support Buckaroo in his adventures. Some of them live in the Banzai Institute, most notably Hong Kong Cavaliers, Buckaroo's rock band and his most trusted inner circle, although it is not clear if all of Buckaroo's inner circle play in the rock band and there are also other musicians playing with Buckaroo (most notably Pinky Carruthers who is Blue Blaze Irregular).

The main member of the Team Banzai is Buckaroo Banzai himself.
Team Banzai is informal name for Buckaroo, his friends and supporters. They can be very roughly divided between Banzai Institute members and Blue Blaze Irregulars, however, there are many people who belong to both groups. Besides that there are also The Hong Kong Cavaliers which comprise mostly of people from Institute. It is not clear whether Hong Kong Cavaliers is only the name of the rock band or whether it is Buckaroo's most inner circle of friends.

Never mind for a moment the fact there were at last count better than six thousand Blue Blaze irregulars world wide—men, women, and children who subscribe to the Blue Blaze newsletter; who attend selected symposia at the Banzai Institute, who submit their bodies periodically to rugged physical training at such places as the desert survival school in Nevada, the mountaineering school in Alaska, and a half dozen others around the globe; who are required yearly to make certain educational advancements; who are “on call” twenty-four hours a day to help B. Banzai in a pinch, or their neighbors in a natural disaster—it was only to be expected, B. Banzai would tell you, that he had committed to memory most, if not all, of their names. Blue Blazes were, after all, ordinary and yet extraordinary people.
